How to make rails load multiple css files

Question

I used to put everything into application.css before and it worked. But now I wanted to use some nice dropdown menus in my app and the css for it is huuge. So I made a new css file just for the dropdown menus in the same folder where application.css is: stylesheets

It seems now that rails does not load the newly created css file. How can I make it load every file in the folder?

Before, it had all my css, now it's empty as I moved everything into a seperate file. I imagine it needs to include some code to fetch every other file in the tree? If so, what is it? — Veske

Yes, you need to include the code to load all other files. I post it as an answer. — ph3nx

Use the default application.css file, it includes all .css files in the assets directories:

/*
 * This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.css, which will include all the files
 * listed below.
 *
 * Any CSS and SCSS file within this directory, lib/assets/stylesheets, vendor/assets/stylesheets,
 * or vendor/assets/stylesheets of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
 *
 * You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at the top of the
 * compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
 *
 *= require_self
 *= require_tree .

put those two lines into application.css:

*= require_self
*= require_tree .

*= require tree . will require all css files in app/assets/stylesheets , lib/assets/stylesheets and vendor/assets/stylesheets
